It was previously made by Shift.

While previous entries in the God Eater series were developed by Shift, God Eater 3 is being developed by Marvelous' First Studio, Bandai Namco announced during the God Eater 3 "Early Hands-On & Development Summit" held in Tokyo today.

The game's main staff is as follows:

  • Series General Director – Hiroshi Yoshimura (Bandai Namco)
  • Series General Producer – Yuusuke Tomizawa (Bandai Namco)
  • Director – Wataru Atsumi (Bandai Namco)
  • Producer – Yuya Tomiyama (Bandai Namco)
  • Development Director – Ittetsu Suzuki (Marvelous)
Ittetsu Suzuki was also the development director on Soul Sacrifice, which Marvelous developed.

Don't really know how to feel about this. I really want God Eater 3 to be a console quality game, though. I think Soul Sacrifice was great...presentation wise, but it's not the best 'hunting' game out there.

We don't actually know how much of the Soul Sacrifice staff is making the game. We only know that the development director of that is the development director of this.

Edit: First Studio is a bit of a conundrum because I haven't been able to find anything about when they were first established / if they're a new team within Marvelous. Their logo only started popping up with the Fate/Extella Link trailer that released in February.

Is Shift working on Code Vein? I've seen it said in random places that they are, but nothing concrete and reliable.
If not, I wonder what they are working on. It would be nice if it was Freedom Wars 2, a spiritual sequel, or something to that extent.

I really hope they work on the repetition. Man, I thought Monster Hunter games were repetitive (and I love Monster Hunter by the way), but God Eater is a whole other level of repetitive.

Code Vein is Bamco Internal

Looks pretty similar to the previous games in the media shown so far so either they worked off of previous games' code or the directors are pretty exact about how they want the GE games to be regardless of the studio.

Dimps actually handled developmental duties on Freedom Wars.

That aside, a sequel's probably a pipe dream at this point. The game's producer left not too long after its original release and about two years ago, the lead designer and writer left Shift altogether. What a waste.

Wonder if we'll ever get some sort of Soul Sacrifice on PS4, even a port would be nice.

I've only played Resurrection, but what turned me off was that the combat felt like there was no weight behind it. Still haven't tried 2 but I bought it for cheap recently. Definitely enjoyable in some aspects however.

Sorry for bumping this old thread but did anybody see the God Eater 3 stream? was anything announced for the game? I'm at work so I can't look too deep into it and I don't see anybody talking about the stream here or on the God Eater Reddit.

So I assume no SS 2 ever? This makes me sad, really, SS has 10 times the potential of God Eater but I assume the latter sold more for reasons I really can't understand.

Soul Sacrifice is a Sony IP, and we see how they feel about producing japanese games nowadays

and Comcept is a part of Level 5 (in addition to being a pretty toxic brand)

My bad, thank for clarifying, I didn't know SS was a Sony IP. I always thought the game was not ported elsewhere due to poor sales/type of game.

BlackKite (@bk2128) tweeted a bit during the stream. They showed improvements over the first public demo, changes in gameplay, bullet creation and stuff.




There are more tweets, but we can only embed two.
